review: stars and planets in their eyes - whiteboard and projection screen combined

Nigel hensbest space trail at an exhibition at the London Planetarium, Carl Zheng wrote some works about syncing, the day after visiting the space Trail, I overheard a woman telling several overseas visitors Underground: "One of the places you really should go to is the Planetarium-the big dome of Madame Tussauds, you know.
Really good.
In public, I keep "listening, listening" to myself ".
But I must agree.
I 've been talking about the London Planetarium in these columns and elsewhere for years-but not anymore.
It's back at the forefront of the world's stars. theatres.
When the Planetarium opened in 1958, it was a miracle of science and technology: millions of tourists were in awe and excited about the artificial sky.
But the effects of television, computers and lasers have given people more hope for night simulations.
Apparently, the London Planetarium did not realize that astronomy itself became more intuitive-glorious images, video images and amazing computer graphics on telescopes and spaceships-and that its response was to abandon the current Astronomy
The exhibition area downstairs was handed over to the wax figure of historical astronomers, while the planetary dome was used most of the time as a projection screen for "laser rock.
Fortunately, this era is over.
With the help of Terence Murtagh, a technical wizard who once ruled the world --
The London Planetarium introduced a projection video system in its last performance, Starburst.
Moving astronomical images show that pure astronomical technology can still wow punters.
The planetarium has now led its competition by using lasers.
A few months ago, I welcomed the generated images from its current show, solar raid, on these pages.
Now, I am happy to say that the sultry heaven writers downstairs also have.
Most people moved to the rest of Madame Tussauds, although poor Isaac Newton ended up in the furnace.
In their location, it's one of the most exciting Planetarium introductions I 've seen anywhere.
The space trail is very close, very attractive, very hands-on. on.
It is as dark as space, with bright moving areas around the walls. Touch-
Sensitivescreens abound: reach out to get one of the four icons on the screen and you will trigger a sequence of still pictures, video sequences, and computer graphics, each at two Heightsups.
On one side of the room, for example, you can watch the birth of a star or watch the replay of the big bangin action.
On the other hand, you can see Saturn's rings spinning, skiing in the Canyon of Mars, or arousing the secrets of any other planet.
Closer to home is the central display on the satellite.
Here, you can bring up the view of the Earth from space, listen to TV channels around the world, or watch the weather through satellites.
A separate screen is set up to display the latest message when it happens in text and space.
Use models with imagination.
When you enter the exhibition, you will be faced by the familiar Orion-but it is made up of "stars" in 3D space.
When you pass by and watch it from a different angle, the pattern or constellation will dissolve into a group of meaningless stars.
Against the Wall is the Earth, it is not bigger than football, and Jupiter will zoom next to it to fill the entire wall.
Walking and touching on this vast earth will give you a sense of the size of the planet.
Another favorite of Mineis is the model of the Galileo probe, which is now on its way to Jupiter.
I am particularly pleased to see the return of the bookstall, offering a variety of astronomical delicacies.
So far, there is almost nothing to follow
May have aroused interest in the universe.
The whole exhibition is directed at the fact that astronomy is now in the national curriculum in the UK.
The children seem to like the trip to space very much.
The exhibition's color guide provides excellent backup for kids and teachers-they lack the early diet of Star Trek and may need it more.
The trip to space itself is worth a visit, but it is just a tower of the updated sun-scan show in the planetarium dome.
If the place is too full, you have to queue up on the ramp to the planetarium, and a huge screen will play video shows of space and astronomy in a row to entertain you.
This is a lot to say for the imaginative layout of this new exhibition, and many visitors happily believe that they have seen what they have paid when they reach this point.
Then, the Planetarium will show up with amazing results.
The cost of entering the planetarium is 3.
£ 60 for adults, £ 2.
£ 30 for children and £ 1.
A school group of children is 95 years old.
